I’ve had people tell me over the years how unusual it is for siblings to be as close as I am to mine. They really are a couple of the best people I know. They are so fun to be around but strong and steady when I need them to be. I also can’t believe how lucky we are with how well our spouses have fit right in with us. I was always worried that they would marry someone who one of us didn’t get along with. Not only do I love my brother and sister-in-law but I really like them too. If I had a choice of who I would want to hang out with on any given day it would always be them and my sibs. Not to say we don’t have our rough patches. I think anytime you care about someone as much as we do there are gonna be times that you argue. It doesn’t take long for us to get over it though. I mean who better to put you in your place than your brother or sister right?
There have been so many times that my siblings have come through for me. Especially in the last couple of years. Not because they had to, not because I asked them but because that’s just who they are and how they love. They’ve helped me in huge ways, like Bubba & Jo inviting us to live with them or when Bre took Bailey to get back to school clothes. There have also been times when they’ve helped and probably thought nothing of it.
That brings me to the thing that made me want to write about what awesome sibs I have. This week Bre took her kids to the fair. It is something I always looked forward to when I was younger. Of course now it’s not something we can afford to do if all of us go. So Bre, as if she didn’t have enough kiddos to keep up with, asked Bay to go with them. I can’t tell you how much it meant to me. Bailey heard all of her friends talk about going and it would’ve broken my heart if she missed out on doing the same. As an added bonus she got to hang out with her best bud Aussie. 🙂 Like I said, I really don’t think they realize how much they have helped me over the years. And I’m sure if you asked them about it they’d wave it off like it was no big deal. It’s a really big deal to me.
